Geddy Lee - Cut To The Chase lyrics

[Chorus 1] It is the fire that lights itself But it burns with a restless flame The arrow on a moving target The archer must be sure of his aim It is the engine that drives itself But it chooses the uphill climb A bearing on magnetic north Growing farther away all the time [Bridge] Can't stop moving Can't stop moving Can't stop [Verse 1] You may be right It's all a waste of time I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take A danger I'm prepared to face Cut to the chase [Chorus 2] It is the rocket that ignites itself And launches its way to the stars A driver on a busy freeway Racing the oblivious cars It's the motor of the western world Spinning off to every extreme Pure as a lover's desire Evil as a murderer's dream [Verse 2] Young enough not to care too much About the way things used to be I'm young enough to remember the future The past has no claim on me [Verse 3] I'm old enough not to care too much About what you think of me But I'm young enough to remember the future And the way things ought to be [Bridge] Cut Cut [Outro] Cut to the chase You may be right It's all a waste of time I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take A danger I'm prepared to face Cut to the chase What kind of difference can one person make? Cut to the chase
